Passengers describe terrifying Spirit flight from Jamaica to Fort Lauderdale 

Very well said.

Exactly. Should be grateful to have life and limbs intact rather than worrying about what they can get from the airline

@@Edmundo75 Well there’s a procedure for the airlines & vouchers. There are rules about vouchers but airlines don’t usually offer them unless the customer asks.

For what What did the "Most High" Character do???

Amen.

😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉😂

Not a gift card 😂

Hahahahaha 😂 OMG! I love this comment!

😂😂😂

Amen . Thank you Jesus for your love & mercy !!!

Fun fact that part of Jamaica water is shallow am from Jamaica and always be at that location so I know

​@@joelmccootie8098so what, that means nothing in the grand scheme of things. A pilot can have the best of intentions to land in what he "thinks" is shallow waters but it never goes as planned in an emergency.

@@joelmccootie8098to bad they are on a plane way out from the island in a matter of minutes. Its not shallow

Lol

So true

So true

Totally agree! I’m proud of the pilot❤

So right

Yeah, because religious zealots are busy thanking supernaturalism. People work and train hard for their recognition to be robbed by invisible forces 😪

So true

I rather go into the water than on land any day, and I got a vest! Open them doors. I'm floating

I mean yes, the whole spacetime-continuum is a miracle, but we don't know what the issue was. It might have just been a false alarm.

@@hypnoticcash5245isn’t that water deep as hell

​@@hypnoticcash5245you are 2-3 times more likely to die in a water landing, compared to land

It’s the stress and lack of customer service that will shorten your life 😂😂

So if it’s the safest why did this happen

@@aprilg4276 They are actually pretty strict on safety. They're the only airline I've been on that always dims the cabin lights during takeoff and landing so that everyone's eyes acclimate to the outside lighting conditions, and they've never had a fatal incident.

​@@aprilg4276because this can (and does) happen on any airline. Spirit still holds the distinction of never having a fatal accident. This happened... But notice everyone made it safely?

Well I flew on it hundreds of times and never had an issue.🤷🏾‍♂️

​@@tedwilliams185 maybe you're already one 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

😂

😂😂

@@westcoastbred7745 Fab!

Imagine how many other airlines have the same issues.

Things you don’t know is there are SPARE life vest on EVERY aircraft in case there is some issue. Another thing you should know is that people are not thinking rationally in these type of instances. They’re too busy screaming, praying, and doing everything in fear and might not be opening the equipment the proper way. That’s why they tell you to pay attention to safety demonstrations, but people usually fall asleep, use their phone, or are paying attention to anything else but the IMPORTANT safety demonstration…

All life vests have a straw as a back up inflator that you blow into. Also none of them should have inflated in the aircraft, because what happens when you get stuck and can exit the airplane because the door was already submerged. Your suppose to wait till you leave the plane, then inflate. Alot of them did not listen to the saftey video

💯

Yea that guy is entitled and spoiled

he can be grateful to the pilot but also upset at the airline company itself, for 1) not taking enough precautions with their planes and 2) providing shoddy lifejackets...

He can be grateful to the pilot but always upset with the company who is responsible for the safety of the plane

BLK people and Karen’s are the same! Complain about everything

and nobody sued

That wasn't the last time. Another pilot safely landed a plane on the water after the Hudson one.

Yep!

The Airbus that landed in the Hudson was designed for emergency water landings. Not sure if this Spirit airplane was. If not, it would not have ended the same way.

@@missadventure3397 It's the same series airbus 320, all modern airplanes are designed for possible water landings.

Luckily, they have loads of cell phone videos showing just how 'not stressed out' they were. I have been in fear for my life for real before and in those moments it did not even once occur to me to take a video of my death. Not for one second. But here's people taking video for no other reason but to take it. They're not jumping for joy in the video, but they're not screaming nor looking like they're about to hit the water. They are simply waiting. So, pretty sure that's loads of proof that fearing for your life in reality is quite different than feeling safe enough to hold on to a phone rather than bracing for impact or praying or anything that one would do if they truly did feel like they were about to die. They'll be no payouts. They already got a free flight. And they're alive too! What a bonus!

Usual suspects want more

My first flight on a plane since 96 was in 2019-2022. Each time I traveled and landed safely I made sure to thank the pilots and crew. Flying a big saa plane with hundreds of lives in your hands ain't no joke! Peace and Blessings !❤❤❤❤❤

You wouldn't be saying this if they were white

Thank you, cause what more could've been done. Is he expecting to be set for life, free flight for life.....I'm confused. Sir Be grateful you live

@@duckmercy11 I would be saying if they were any color. Obviously, something happened up there. The pilot took notice, but got them home, safely. I'd be glad that I got off, and not somewhere lost at sea.

I watch EVERY time, i also ALWAYS count how many seat rows i am away from the nearest emergency exit. Thanks for your work.

@@lawrencedavidson6195 We're so grateful for passengers like you!

Facts.

Thank you for your service...

speaking as a very frequent non-rev passenger and a cargo pilot, I thank you for doing your job the way you are trained and keeping the passengers safe. Passengers do need to pay attention regardless if its important or not. Today marks the 25th anniversary of American flight 1420 into little Rock AR Jun 1st 1999. 9 passengers died and over 80 where injured. I was on that flight in my early 20s at the time and i walked out of there with just bruises and cuts after the plane ran off the runway and crashed. It was one experience i hope to never see ever again, and a friendly reminder to heed safety announcements at the beginning of the flight.

Exactly

That a real shame. I remember a time when flying was the safest way to travel. It seems these Boeing 737 planes are faulty and so many incidents, especially after all the whistle blowers.

Terrifying. And now they want to use AI copilots. No thanks, I'll drive.

I'm telling you man, they have chance at life and they saying they deserve more, yal almost died and don't get nothing.

​@@alrickjames7103 The airline was negligent, end of story.

Amen ❤

Exactly! She’s old enough to remember life before social media.

I agree man these modern times with social media and the need to record every situation is like a literal sickness that needs true healing.

My thoughts too‼️ She wasn't too concerned. I woulda been praying.

My EXACT thoughts.

I pray before I even board. Praying as you die doesn’t make your soul automatically safe. If you know your God then why not film and document my final words toloved ones

Obviously not everyone pulled out their phones and is good that some did or we wouldn’t see what’s happening inside plus if you’re going down I’m guessing you want to send a recording to your loved one stop judging

@SouthmeriKan Yeah...... You missed the point, but ok 👍

I’d be doing the same thing who knows maybe the video will make it to the cloud and be salvageable and my loved ones would see my last words

Welcome to the new age buddy- what would u do? U would be foolish not too

That part☝🏾

You don't get to make that decision. I hope they do sue them, and I hope they win. Boy, what I wouldn't GIVE to see your face flush as red as the setting sun with anger.🤣👈🏾👩🏾

​@westcoastbred7745 Come on, man. Let's just live peacefully. People of all races and cultures have folks who like to sue. Let's not generalize and divide but rather unite and stop letting media and politics separate us.

If we are going to get racial white people sue far more then blacks.. Anyways don't tell people how to get compensated for emotional distress and a ruined holiday. Do you get unlimited vacation time at your job? Can you rebook and move around all the appointments to make another vacation easily no? Then shut up. Or if you get into a car accident don't dare sue the other driver just be happy your selt belts and airbags worked.. Take the hit on all the days of work you missed just like they missed their vacation and take all the emotional and physical pain you received too right?

@@NaturalBrownCupcake Well, I guess you told him! Deleted his comment and everything. Or else it got taken down. Must have been a nasty one. Good call though! Sometimes we need to remind people to be kind.

Thank the lord and pilot your okay, no need to sue. You chose spirit. Dont people call that airline "ghetto in the sky". NO THANK YOU!

Exactly 💯💯💯💯

A natural disaster and mechanical issues on a plane are two different situations. They said a voucher wasn’t good enough. And thank GOD that you made it out alive.

LMAO, I wouldn't doubt it, they probably charged for the announcement too

Whether the vest works or not!

Comments are outa pocket 💀

I think that’s what they got as reimbursement to apologize for the incident. 😂

30 if you wnat it automatically inflated

Along with 200 bright yellow bodies

Southwest is only $49 and doesn't even charge for bags. In Europe it's common to see flights for 9.99 although they do charge for any extras.

Hahahhaahahhh..ah

😅😅😅😅😅😂

😅😂😅😫😫😫

Spirit flights are cheap BUT THEY CHARGE FOR BAGS CARRY ON AND SEAT TOTAL PRICE IS WAAAAY ABOVE 99 DOLLARS!!!!! SOUTHWEST ALL DAY ALL 3 OF MY BAGS ARE FREE PLUS CARRY ON

Please. Heads of corporations sue, counter sue, avoid and evade taxes and cut corners to get every DIME they can squeeze from the system no matter how desperate. Why shouldn’t average joe’s do the same?

@@realSimoneCherie when the average Joe has to pay an extra $50 per ticket so that airline can pay for the lawsuits then the average Joe is going cry and complain.

I completely agree! The pilot did a great job because EVERYONE made out alive. Pilots don’t get enough credit. It’s sickening

Oh my word. Wanted to travel southwest but all flights I saw were connected flights. Had to end up with spirit. I trust the Almighty that he will take us safely to mobay and back.

Hmmmm it has nothing to do with pilot. It's about aircraft's not getting their quality control under control!! This shouldn't happen. Pilots shouldn't be put at risk like this with these faulty aircraft's. Conspiracy maybe because it's an airbus?

@@jenivettebigham7060It’s not a “quality control issue.” Planes simply have issues at times, the same way cars do. It’s impossible to maintain a plane in such a way that you can 100% prevent every incident from occurring.

I wouldn't want a voucher because I would never fly Spirit again if I was them🤷🏽‍♀️

@@blackcherry6877 As a pilot, I can tell you that not flying spirit again because of a mechanical issue is ridiculous. Every airline from time to time has incidents like this, because no aircraft is 100% reliable. This video if anything should show you that the pilots are skilled in handling emergencies.

@@videogameplayer0552 I believe you are a pilot just like I believe grass is blue and the sky is green. Spirit is the worst rated airline in America, this is very well known.

I know, right!

It’s absolutely disgusting! I’d be so thankful and grateful for a safe landing.

What u expect them to do 😮😅😅. No respect or appreciation for anything

THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE THE AIRLINE FOR MECHANICAL FAILURE. IT’S THE PILOT’S JOB TO DO THE BEST HE/ SHE CAN TO LAND SAFELY. THOSE PLANES SHOULD BE CHECKED ON THE REGULAR, ESPECIALLY SPIRIT AIRLINES. IT’S ALWAYS SOMETHING WITH THEM.

My thoughts exactly!

Oh but me tal anguish must be worth a few million smh, interpretation, new way for reparations

But blax tho

AMEN! Your LIFE is more, MORE, than enough 🙌

The airline admitted it was a mechanical issue. No, flying should not be a risk. The corporations that make so much profit on flying should indeed spend some money maintaining their planes properly. It’s the least we can expect 👍

Extremely True But some of their equipment didn't work , so some people would've died

Ungrateful for an unsafe, traumatic near death experience? You wouldn't be saying this if they were white.

Oh yea be grateful over a damn plane that wanna charge you for a everything but can’t even do their job right

Flying is risky tho​@@moonlightprincess449

@@moonlightprincess449dude they did their job right and landed the plane safely.

These people were staring death in the eyes and you find reason to criticize. To have empathy for persons circumstances and situation are Homo- Sapien traits. I guess you have to be human first

You're right. Except Mother Nature did not create airplanes or airplane problems. Us fools did that all by ourselves. And now when those airplanes scare us some are looking for a payout. But I think what you meant was that it's a naturally inherent risk to be flying in an airplane at all.

Think for a moment your pilot says “we need to make an emergency water landing” and gives no context or update to where/why/how - you like many others on that plane will probably think those are your last waking moments. Especially as water landings in the past have NOT gone according to plan. Especially in choppy and turbulent ocean water. Especially that they’d be so far from any immediate help that anything could happen. So I’d be suing spirit for letting me get on a plane that shouldn’t have been flying and for scaring me into thinking of death

@@shanpsoldout That part.

why are people acting like the guy wants to sue the pilot directly 😭 he's upset with the airline not with the pilot

Be grateful they almost experienced death due to the airline's incompetence. This is like telling slaves to be grateful they didn't have to grow up in Africa. Ofay mentality.

For emotional stress goof ball

That judge would laugh in his face.

@@nessforbes7400”emotional stress.” You get on a plane, you know the risks. The plane landed safely, and that’s what matters.

​@videogameplayer0552 He suffered emotion distress from Spirit Airlines' failure to have their plane operating correctly which resulted in a emergency landing.

@@blackcherry6877 No aircraft is 100% reliable, so blaming Spirit is absurd. That’s like blaming your car mechanic because your car has an issue.

Very true and sad…☹️

When Armageddon comes peeps will be recording with their phones... Not even the final event will stop them... It's a disease already!!!

Did you see anyone standing up? If not, clearly, they had not landed yet which makes your observation quite petty.

Want to see the YT video where someone gives those comments to an attorney, but it's on the internet must be true lol

If they were white they’d deserve a million dollars for the pain and suffering they endured though, right?

Not scared, but traumatized.

Yeah, pathetic. Be grateful. Thank the pilot and God (if you believe), make a personal vow to live life the fullest and move on.

I'm been absolutely terrified during take-offs and landings on every single flight I've been on in 30 years. Nobody cared. Not even one time did anyone pay me for my fear and trauma because when I took my 2 week vacation to a beach somewhere I chose to fly instead of hitchhiking to get there. The nerve of them to not offer me a free flight for my stress on the way to the beach!

@@Auntkekebaby FYI: Every single day, every single one of us almost died! We might have died, but we didn't. And it was nobody's fault. You drive a car, you are not surprised to see or be in an accident. Completely normal. You fly on an airplane, you accept that you are taking a risk. It's an airplane thousands of feet in the sky. Yeah, you're gonna be scared if something goes wrong. But you're gonna be so happy if you make it out alive, even if you're hurt. These people did not have a scratch on them. Landed safely. They might have been scared, but this does not rise to the level of 'traumatized'. If they had crashed and lived, that's traumatized. But nothing happened! Nothing! Nobody is a victim here. People need to choose whether they are going to live their entire lives feeling like a traumatized victim of somebody or something or are they going to accept that everything they do comes with risks, having a scary encounter is normal and they really will get over it, and being afraid of dying is not the same thing as actually almost dying.

Scarier things have happened on United and American, and no Spirit flight has ever crashed before. It is not about the airline 🙄

I avoid all aircraft because of the Patriot Act.

Airplanes are man-made tubes 30K feet in the sky. You risk your life every time you step on one regardless of the carrier name spray painted on the side.

No airline is 100% safe from emergency landings. They run into problems just like cars, they just happen significantly less often

It has more to do with the aircraft than the airline, but to each their own.

@jcho0222 I know, right? What do they want, a red carpet rolled out upon landing?

You're clearly know nothing. The aircraft was built by Airbus. This is not your typical piece of crap boeing that you're used to. Airbus is the number aircraft manufacturer.

All of this coming from people who weren't on the plane.

These people are professional victims. You can tell by the last interview.

Other folks would be suing and you would agree with them.

@@evertonmarshall6109 No, no. I would be sending a Thank you letter to the pilots. Nothing happened to these people. Nothing. Nobody even needed a bandaid. They were told to put on their life vests just in case it was needed. A precaution.They did not crash. The plane did not lose control, ever, and all they got was a reality check as to the inherent dangers of flying thousands of feet in the air. It's not even a natural human thing to be in the air like that. Being afraid is a good and healthy feeling to have when you are doing something dangerous. You should always have a little bit of fear when flying, know all the safety rules by heart, and be very grateful if you took those safety precautions and it turns out you didn't need them. That's what happened here. You can't sue for something that didn't happen.

I was thinking the same. We know why the comments are saying this. If this was a plane full of others the comments would be flooded with, "sue the airlines."

Not all but many of them will.

B folk get zero consideration. You already know what it is. None of them said that they weren't grateful. It was scary for them. You would have to see them as humans to feel that. The comment sections is trash. Never surprised.

Exactly racist species can’t help themselves. Them and their lap dogs of a different hue just have to find something to spill their jealousy on.
